And don't give me that "muh Image", "muh Valiant". The Big Two became something because they were created during the Silver & Golden ages, and, as such, were rooted in American History. The other publishers will never achieve the same level of popularity and, hence, will collapse.
I mean, you're not wrong. The only reason Marvel is doing so well now is because they were going or already bankrupt and decided to sell off properties before being purchased by Disney.
DC wank: The Thread
Enjoy yourself friends
DC has always been better than Marlel.
Hell, they drive away almost every good creator.

>Morrison
>Kirby

>Favreau
Comic books are a medium, they existed before marvel and dc and will continue to no matter what.

This. Superhero comics are kept alive as litteral memes by the sheer popularity of the big two. They are remnants of the past.
>ywn be there when an Iconic superhero is created.
>the closest you'll ever get is ironic "b-but it's a clever twist" bullshit such as Invincible.
>>82794155
>Shazam
>most well known
Fuck off
>>82794255
It's true, there exist people who make comics viewed by literally less than 100 people, same with people who create music and paintings and films. Comics are an art form and people will continue to make them forever.
>>82794288
Fine. Captain Marvel. He was among the first though.
>>82794155
>Shazam
Is it bad that I'm okay with this literal troll thread, because it's not a movie thread? That's how shit this board is now.
>>82794207
They didn't drive away Morrison you faggot, Marvel did though.
>mfw Marvel was never legitimized because they didn't have a British Invasion
>>82794380
I'm talking about Marlel, dumdum.
>>82794337
The movie threads were never this much of the board. This is a very recent development.
Why now?
A few years ago I could make a Final Crisis opinions thread and get 150+ responses. Now it gets like 10.

>>82794301
Yeah but what about cape-centric shared universes? Come to think of it, that's pretty specific, and I don't want to live in a world full poignant realistic french graphic novels and shitty webcomics. What will happen to the superhero genre?
>>82794207
It's impossible to not drive away Moore, that guy's finicky as hell. Quesada personally went to his home so they could get permission to reprint his Captain Britain run and they still managed to piss him off years later giving us The Original Writer credit on Marvelman reprints.

Marvels been outselling DC since the 60's
>>82794155
I read dc because I like the characters more than marvel's, but the writers are honestly overrated.
>>82794155
Scott Snyder drive me away of the batbooks. overrated.i hate ihm.
>>82794199
That and star wars
>>82794207
To be fare DC ran off Moore too
>>82794706

Scott Snyder -his batman remembers me on Trump.
>>82794155
>Shazam
The wizard Shazam is not a superhero. You're thinking of Captain Marvel, who has the powers of Shazam.
>>82794686
Who?
>>82794628
But that's wrong. Marvel's floppies only outsell DC if you add in the Star Wars division. DC outsells them in trades by a mile.

Sure buddy, sure. I mean the big two aren't going anywhere but comics would still be around without them. Maybe not Image and Valiant which rely on the sale of floppies a lot, but the publishers that started switching their focus to book store distribution and ditching floppies like Fantagraphics, First Second, Top Shelf, D+Q, etc. They're basically in a completely different market. Also Shazam isn't as recognizable as Wonder Woman.

Hey autismo. Just wanted you to know, it's okay to make up your own dc universe in your head. What does the company who created it know about naming its characters, right?

He was created in 1940 and his comics sold better than superman's for a while. The fact that you reddit-browsing stucky-loving faggots don't know comic book history doesn't make OP wrong.
>>82795744
That doesn't make him most well known today.
Namor was also pretty popular in his heyday but he's literally who tier to everyone now.
>>82794531
Well unless you were around in the 30s/40s you weren't either. Or- let me guess- you think Cyborg is iconic? Deadpool? Cause you're in for some serious disappointment if you do.

Iron Man and Capa re A-listers nowAs they should be
It doesn't bother anyone that "DC" stands for Detective Comics. So when you say "DC Comics" you really mean Detective Comics Comics? It's like saying ATM Machine,(automatic teller machine machine), or the la brea tar pits (the the tar tar pits)

Litteraly no one cared who they were till they got their own movies.

Literalmente just name one single iconic superhero that made his debut while you were alive. Hardmode: no gwenpool.

>>82794199
This is correct. Marvel's success is solely due to Disney Warbucks. Disney was roundly criticized and mocked for buying Marvel at the time. It doesn't change the fact that Marvel has reached heights that DC never thought possible.

It's esentially their cuck bitch company now. DC is the true supreme alpha male company, while Marvel chokes slowly on that BDC.
